  • Diversity of Outputs: The model can generate a wide variety of images from the same input, enhancing creative possibilities.
  • API Accessibility: Available through the BFL API, allowing developers to integrate it seamlessly into applications.
Intended Use
  • Marketing and advertising for quick asset creation.
  • Product design for detailed visual prototypes.
  • Entertainment industry for character design and concept art.
  • Architecture and interior design for enhanced visual presentations.
  • Fashion design for generating patterns and textures.
Language Support

Primarily supports English but can handle prompts in multiple languages, broadening its usability.

Technical Details

Architecture

FLUX 1.1 [Pro] employs a hybrid architecture that combines multimodal and parallel diffusion transformer blocks, scaled to 12 billion parameters.

Key architectural innovations include:

  • Flow Matching Techniques: This method enhances training efficiency by treating diffusion as a special case, allowing for faster convergence during training.
  • Rotary Positional Embeddings: These embeddings improve the model's ability to understand spatial relationships in generated images.
  • Parallel Attention Layers: This feature optimizes processing speed and hardware efficiency, making it suitable for real-time applications.
Training Data

The model has been trained on a diverse dataset comprising millions of images from various domains. While specific details about dataset size are proprietary, it is designed to minimize biases and enhance robustness across different contexts.

Knowledge Cutoff

The model's knowledge is current as of October 2024.

Diversity and Bias

FLUX 1.1 [Pro] aims to reduce bias through its varied dataset.

Performance Metrics
  • Achieving the highest Elo score in the image arena as of October 1, 2024 (see below).
  • Significant reductions in latency compared to previous models, making it suitable for real-time applications.

Comparison to Other Models

In terms of quality, FLUX1.1 [pro] leads with the highest score, offering top-tier image quality, followed by FLUX1 [pro]. DALLE 3 ranks lower but remains a strong general-purpose option, while Stable Diffusion 3 and XL 1.0 models, though positioned lower, may appeal to users prioritizing customization and flexibility over pure image quality.

How to use Flux pro 1.1 API

Install any OpenAI-compatible SDK, point it at api.aimlapi.com/v1, and set the model to blackforestlabs/flux-pro-1.1.
import requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + AIMLAPI_KEY},
    json={
      "model": "blackforestlabs/flux-pro-1.1",
      "prompt": "A cat holding a sign that says hello"
    },
)
print(r.json())
const r = await fetch("https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.AIMLAPI_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "blackforestlabs/flux-pro-1.1",
    "prompt": "A cat holding a sign that says hello"
  }),
});
console.log(await r.json());
curl -X POST https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIMLAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"blackforestlabs/flux-pro-1.1","prompt":"A cat holding a sign that says hello"}'
